BP: Eyes on Production and Share Buybacks

BP will report its second-quarter results amid weaker oil and gas prices, but higher production volumes should help offset some of the revenue pressure. Refining margins are also expected to climb by $300–500 million, while oil trading performance looks robust, giving analysts confidence that net income may have risen from $1.5 billion in Q1 to roughly $1.8 billion.

The company is guiding for net debt to tick down from the $27 billion reported last quarter, supported by the sale of its U.S. onshore wind business. Investors will be eager for updates on potential share buyback increases after BP slashed its buybacks to $0.75 billion last quarter.

Palantir: High Expectations, Can the Company Keep Up?

Palantir heads into its Q2 earnings with strong share price momentum, but equally strong pressure to deliver. Markets are expecting earnings per share to surge by 53%, but anything less could spark a pullback. Sustained growth in government contracts, particularly outside the U.S., will be closely watched to see if Palantir can turn its international ambitions into reality.

Investors are also looking for updates on corporate adoption rates, especially from its AI-focused bootcamps. Palantir is well-placed in the booming AI data analytics space, but it must keep growth at a high level to justify its lofty valuation.

Diageo: Navigating Tariffs and Leadership Changes

Diageo’s full-year results follow a strong third quarter, with sales up nearly 6% to $4.4 billion, thanks in part to pre-tariff stockpiling by customers. But attention now turns to how well Diageo is handling the roughly $150 million in expected annual costs from new tariffs. Half of these costs should be absorbed by efficiency gains, but price increases may be needed to cover the rest.

Investors will also seek clarity on leadership plans after former CEO Debra Crew’s abrupt departure in July, capping a period of muted performance. For now, underlying operating profits for the year are forecast to dip slightly to around £5.7 billion, before expected growth resumes in the new financial year.
